This document summarizes the seminar work on the analysis and design of reinforced concrete curved beams. It discusses that curved beams experience both bending moments and torsional moments due to loads acting outside the line of supports. The document outlines the methodology used, which includes manual design using limit state method according to Indian code IS 456 and software analysis and design using ETABS. It presents the important equations for calculating bending moments and torsion in circular beams. A design example is included to demonstrate and compare the manual and software based designs. The conclusion indicates that manual design considers the combined effect of bending and twisting better than software.
